There are some bands known particularly for their legendary live shows or their viral music videos, but few check both boxes quite like OK Go. With heavy choreography and exacting motions, not only are they a compelling band, but they've springboarded all of it to OK Go Sandbox, a tool for educators to incorporate with students. Tonight the band puts on an especially interesting show at the California Center for the Arts, Escondido because it's a live video tour where they'll incorporate and play in sync with their videos. For the romantics out there, check out crooner Jaymes Young wear his heart on his sleeve at the Casbah, the Spill Canvas bring that emo vibe to Soda Bar, and your favorite local musicians go all in for Kuss Undercover at the Office.
